Washington Ferry Alert: loose horse on board! Your help is requested! (UPDATED)
Be on the lookout for a renegade horse, similar to this only not as fluffy or clean:
“Neigh” to her friends, she was last seen at the car video game area Thursday afternoon, pretending to play since she forgot her purse. Unfortunately, she failed to deboard the ferry when it arrived at the Bainbridge terminal.
More unfortunate, her tail, I am told, is perfect for twirling with small fingers at bedtime. And the curve of her furry back nestles perfectly under a small neck.
Washington State Ferry Lost and Found has been notified. We chew our nails while waiting for word.
Please pray for us (okay, mostly ME!). We may need counseling for all those stages of grief.
Unless I get Kid a new one. Do you think I should?
UPDATE: We found Neigh!! She actually DID make it off the ferry and into our house. Kid found her. How is it you can TOTALLY forget whether you carried something in or saw it anywhere? Next time a lovey gets chosen, I vote for BRIGHT RED fur!

Oooh…been there! The young’un had a knack for losing her little black horse dubbed “Star.” I replaced Star three times without her knowledge before she finally lost her for good and I decided I was done replacing her.
Sometimes she pines over her favorite stuffed critter…that tail was great for rubbing between tired fingers, the bean-filled body nestled perfectly anywhere she snuggled it. But she has a penguin “Happy” now, and while not quite a Star, is good enough.

We were on the ferry this morning and sadly didn’t see a renegade horse. You’ve got to get a new one for her (and you better hope they’re still available in the store).
Abby is perpetually attached to her blankie and I bought a back-up last fall just in case we ever lose one.

My oldest couldn’t sleep as a little one without his classic pooh bear with wind up music box. Little did he know that Pooh was replaced four times (where we had to have him shipped because we lived in a remote part of Alaska). We made sure not to make any one lovey indispensable for our next two children. Just too difficult.
Here’s hoping you find the horse.
